A. NJ. Cernuschi has published a pam
phlet entitled the Anatomy Of MOney.v
VI. Cernuschi has been engaged for MANY
years IN the study OF bimetalism, and the
pamphlet now issued IS the eleventh OF a
series. Tue salient feature OF NJ. Cernus-
CHRIS monetary theory is that the power of
moEey is created by law--statute law. He
shows that there are $4,000 cubic metres of
silver 70 500 Of gold. He coins some new
phrases for introduction into the termi-
nology of the scIence-pretiograph and
pretiophore, the former meaning price
indicating and the latter pIice.pay-
ing. Now the 500 cubic metres
OF gold are the photograph
of the commercial world, and are 40 made
by law. Such is NJ. Cernuschps funda-
mental argument. But is It sound?
History points to another pretiograph

A correspondent, whose commuuica
ton is published this morning, wants TO
know what the City Council is doing to
secure an increase in the appropriation
for the Savannah harbOr. SO far as we
know it is doing nothing. But it ought
to do something. 1t ought TO be so ieal-
GUS OF the interests Of the city as to be
ready to take such steps promptly as are
necessary to guard, protect and promote
those interests.
There may be those who think nothing
can be done to increase the appropriation

Girls look pretty on horseback, and
we love to see them. We popped the
question to a lady we now board with
while we were cantering side by side in

chance, and we've been jogging along
together ever since. In a town like
ours, where horses are plenty and 9TH

GUS, we think all the girls should be
encouraged to become accomplished

MY FIRST KISS.

The tender smile OF parting day
Was waning in the West;
Soft shadows climbed the eastern way
Where mornings feet had prest,
We linger Oh, my Love and l,
Amid the the fragrant dew,
And though our hearts were beating high
Our words were low and few.
The little stars laughed down in scorn-
Where had my courage fled?
At last, with strength OF passion born,
The fateful words were said
She could not speak-she could not see
So thick the teardrops shone,
But dropping eyelids told to me
What lips were shy to own.
I've toiled and won an honored name.
And now I'm growing old;
I've touched the shining hem OF Fame,
And found it's touch was cold;
But still from out the sha dowy past
One memory brings me bliss.
For I shall keep while life shall last
Our first, bethrothal kiss.

A Gay and Bigamous Skeleton

"A Gay anu b1SanlOuS SkcleCOn.
From the Chicago Times.
There was skeleton in the family
closet OF Isacc w. Sprague, the famous
living skeleton of the museums, who
died recently. Hewas financially pros
porous unfortunate for his salary rang
ed between $50 and $1OO week for
many years during which he was an
exhibit, and, as he spent money slow
ly, he leaves an estate estimated at
fully 100000. From that fact arises
the scandal. With him at the
time o. his death was woman who
passed as his wife, and who claims the
fortune as such. She says that she
was regularly m arried to the atrophied
human curiosity TWO years ago in
Cleveland. and that thereafter she
was his devoted companion and nurse
She had been minor actress in dime
museums and was good-looking girl
of twenty. She declares that she did
not know OF Sprague having q prior
wife, and that he represented in his
courtship that he was bachelor.
But an undoubted first wife now
comes forward. She shows a mar
riage certificate to prove that she was
married to the gay skeleton in 1868
at Rockland, Mass, where she bore him
three children. He deserted her four
years ago and she does not know ofhis
having obtained divorce. The money
is understood to be in savings banks
here, and there will be contest for it.
